In the morning, the sun is shining and the sky is clear. Chang'an, which has been shrouded in haze for many days, finally ushered in a rare good weather.

In Chang'an City, the water purification splashes the loess mat road, and the doors of each square in the city are opened, and the red knots are hung above the square door, as if it is celebrating some festival.

In fact, for this city, as well as the civil and military ministers and tens of thousands of soldiers who still live in the city at this moment, today is indeed worth celebrating, and no festival is as significant as today. Before today, everyone was afraid of when the war would rekindle and what their fate would be. It was only at this moment that everyone finally believed that they were safe.

Tang Guogong Li Yuan's chariot had already arrived outside Chang'an City, and the one who arrived before the brigade was the envoy of the Jinyang Army. After these envoys on fast horses and brocade clothes entered the city, they were not in a hurry to seal the treasury and collect their goods, nor did they ask the palace for jewels, treasures, or beauties; Even the twenty beautiful palace people carefully selected by Concubine Wei didn't have a chance to send them out. After they entered the city, they only posted notices outside the squares, and then galloped through the city, reading out Tang Guogong's order aloud as they ran: The soldiers and civilians in the city need not worry, as long as they sincerely belong to each other without delusion, and promise not to kill anyone in vain. If a soldier in the army will steal property and harass the good people, he will be beheaded immediately!

When these brocade-clothed envoys read out the order, they held straight knives in their hands and guarded them outside the palace gate and the gate where the hundred officials lived. They are all generals around Li Yuan, and they came on the orders of their masters, and their status is the same as that of the envoys of the Son of Heaven. No matter what rank the generals, as long as they violate military discipline, they have the right to wield their swords and kill them. is because they are there, just like Jiang Taigong is here where the gods retreat, no one in the Jinyang army dares to make trouble.

Compared with the safety of his own property and family, the hundred officials are more concerned about the attitude behind Li Yuan's arrangement. Although Li Yuan is known as a benevolent name, these ministers also had contacts and even contacts with Li Yuan in the past. However, this kind of correspondence or envelopment is only a general friendship after all, and it is not the same as those ministers who secretly collude and are even ready to cooperate with the Li family to seize Chang'an.

The bloody storm in Chang'an City before wiped out the true meaning of the Li family. These ministers did not assist the Yin Shi in the process of killing hundreds of officials, and some of them were even suspected of contributing to the trouble. If it weren't for their absolute loyalty to the imperial court, the Netherworld Master would not have let them live until now. Now Tai'a is upside down, and the power of life and death is in the hands of the Li family. If Li Yuan pursued the old accounts and turned his face to kill people, there was nothing these people could do. Even after returning to obedience, it is inevitable that he will feel worried, and he doesn't know how Tang Guogong will deal with him.

The appearance of these brocade messengers made this part of the people completely reassured. If Li Yuan wanted to kill his own people or settle the liquidation, it would be easiest to kill them by the hands of the rebels. In the future, if there is a big trouble, you can also kill some people indiscriminately. Now that the Li family has rectified military discipline, it proves that they really want to ensure the peace of Chang'an City, and the lives of their own people can naturally be saved.

For everyone, this experience is tantamount to resurrection from the dead, and their hearts are naturally happy. Therefore, in the past few days, they have been working hard to clean the streets, and even some civil and military officials have personally gone into battle to sweep the streets with brooms. I just want to be able to sell well in front of the two Langjun of the Li family and prove my loyalty to Tang Guogong.

Outside the Mingde Gate, the acting king Yang Yu crossed his shoulders, holding a long rope, and a lamb was tied behind the rope. The originally white face was already covered with mud, and he knelt on the ground with a jade bi in his mouth to greet Li Yuan. Beside him was naturally the old minister Wei Xuan, and behind the two of them was the palace attendant. On their heads were trays of vermilion lacquer, on which were placed items such as seals, talismans, and even the Guanzhong book. As for the Tianxia Hukou Edition, due to the large scale, it is impossible to get it here, and it is all sealed in the treasury, and only the unlocking key is put on the head and waiting for the handover.

This is the gift of the princes in ancient times to ask for surrender, implying that they are defeated and put their lives in the hands of the victor. Kill and listen to the respect, and he has nothing to say.

In any case, this level must be passed. The former descendants of the Heavenly Family are not subject to this humiliation, how can they reassure their successors? Of course, this kind of posture does not mean that he will be able to live, whether he is dead or alive has to be decided by the person with the knife.

Although before arriving, Wei Xuan had repeatedly assured Yang Yu that in order to maintain his decent reputation, Li Yuan would never and would not dare to make a treacherous order to kill the king. But when the matter came, listening to the car fight getting closer and closer to him, Yang Yu's body couldn't help but tremble violently, Wei Xuan's previous words had been completely forgotten, and the only thing left was grievances, fear, and unwillingness.

A resentment rose from his chest, swirling back and forth in his throat, and finally turned into a cry of despair. It's like a little beast trapped in a trap, whimpering and wailing. Wei Xuan was listening clearly, only to feel that this burst of wailing was like a whistling whip, and he was cold all over his body and his heart was like a knife.

Although Li Shimin made a vow, and Li Yuan also promised to ensure the safety of the acting king, who can say for sure such a life-threatening matter. Even a small gesture or an unintentional word can make the person change his or her mind. At the end of the day, if you don't hold the knife in your hand, you can't be safe. The blade is unfavorable, everything is false, whether it is a reputation for benevolence or a scheme, in fact, it is just a trick to fool yourself. When it comes to the end, isn't it up to others to let it go?

In the past few days, the officers and soldiers of the garrison and the Li family have not been idle, removing all those fire pots along with firewood and grass, and even those Wanjun crossbows and battle equipment for defending the city have all been carried away. At this time, Daxing has changed from a heavily armed giant to a bare-handed man, even if the Li family turns his face, he has no weapon to restrain the other party.

Your Majesty...... The old minister can't stand you, you gave me authority, but I failed to keep your country, and now even your blood and blood may not be able to maintain it thoroughly. Everything can only be left to fate, but Lao Chen really has no choice, I have already done everything I can do, but God's will is like this, how can manpower be recovered?

The sound of the wheels stopped abruptly, and Wei Xuan desperately lowered his head, grabbing the ground with his head and not daring to make a sound. At this time, no matter how humiliated Li Yuan was, he must show absolute deference, not for himself, but for Yang Yu.

The surroundings became silent, and suddenly only a vigorous voice exclaimed, "Your Majesty? Why is Your Majesty so? Isn't this a matter of being a vassal servant? ”

Your Majesty? Who is this shouting, Your Majesty?

Wei Xuan had already heard that the person who shouted was Li Yuan, who would he call Your Majesty? Before Wei Xuan could figure it out, he only heard the sound of footsteps, and someone had already come to his side, and then he heard Li Yuan's voice coming from above his head: "Who is so bold that he dares to make His Majesty kneel!" It's a sin that deserves death! Come on, help Your Majesty to get into the chariot! ”

There was a sound of armor rubbing and military boots, and then I heard Yang Yu's exclamation: "Wei Gong ......" but then there was no movement.

I see?

Wei Xuan's mind was racing, and he had already guessed Li Yuan's intentions. He is the one who calls Yang Yu His Majesty, that is...... He wants Yang Yoo to continue to serve as a puppet? In the past, Yang Yu was a puppet in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and from now on, he will change masters.

Li Yuan's rebellion against Sui was a rebellion, but he always regarded himself as the Duke of Tang Guo, even if he lived like an emperor, he still refused to claim to be lonely. At least today, in terms of legal system, the Son of Heaven is still the emperor. Li Yuan stole Daxing, if he directly changed the dynasty, he had to consider whether the world's heroes were willing to obey. Maybe it will become the target of public criticism because of this, attracting the joint efforts of all parties.

If he is not the emperor, he will rebel against the king with his ministers, and he will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of righteousness. No matter how strong the power of the family gate valve is, the influence of imperial power must always be considered. What's more, the status of the monarch and the minister, etiquette is often a fig leaf for the family to restrain their subordinates. If they don't talk about these things at all, there is no guarantee that the powerful military ministers under their command will not follow suit, and they will usurp their positions.

Li Yuan must have thought of this layer a long time ago, so he brought Yang Yu out as a tablet. used the Yang family to crusade against the Yang family, and Li Yuan changed from a rebellious minister to a brave and loyal loyal, assisting the Son of Heaven to crusade against the unsubordinate and killing the traitors in the court. Everything he did was supported by the Great Sui Emperor, and the situation of the northern and southern courts, which the Emperor was most worried about, still appeared.

This situation was not uncommon during the Wuhu Rebellion, and even absurd things such as "Dog's Foot" and "Why Your Majesty rebelled" appeared. Now Li Yuan is just a kind of learning, and he is not clever.

Is this what is called a benevolent elder? This is the famous Tang Guogong all over the world? Before swearing that he would not hurt the king in the slightest, he turned his head and put people on the fire to roast, how vicious was his intentions? What did he take for his oath? Or is it that they are not afraid of retribution at all?

Wei Xuan only felt that his eyes were black for a while, his limbs were cold, and his hands and feet were weak. He was already old and weak, but because of the urgency of the situation, he burst out with amazing potential, and he supported his body with amazing willpower. In the past few days, he has been running around tirelessly, fighting wits and courage with people from all sides, and doing everything possible to preserve the bloodline of the Yang family so that the old man is exhausted and on the verge of running out of oil and running out.

Now seeing that Li Yuan used such methods, the pillar in his heart was broken, and he was suddenly surrounded by endless exhaustion. The self-energizing force disappeared without a trace, and the man was paralyzed and unable to move. All the vitality, vitality and even hope dissipated with the re-turning wheels and the sound of the sacs.

I still lost! He tried his best to plan and conspire, but in the end he was defeated by Li Yuan, who was loyal to the outside and the traitor inside. However, he did not gain nothing, at least he finally buried a thorn in the hearts of the Li family brothers. If it is not bad as expected, this thorn can take root sooner or later, and let the Li family kill each other, even if he is no longer alive at that time, he can also watch from heaven how Li Yuan will end up at that time!
